Weatheraction forecaster Piers Corbyn is on the publicity trail following his correct forecasts of deep cold in Europe this December and N.E. U.S. later this December. And why not! Well done Piers, keep telling them about your solar weather theory. Eventually they’ll get the message.

That should cover it. 🙂
The MET forecast Piers derides was apparently ‘not meant for public consumption’. Maybe the MET shouldn’t have put it on their website. Here it is for your delectation:
Dang co2 driven computer models…

“…our solar-magnetic theory….”. This is meaningful.
I love Piers – he is the archetypical nutty professor. 🙂
His forecasting method is a commercial secret, but from hints given, sound similar to that used by Richard Holle and it is streets ahead of anything the Met Office can produce with their £30m Play Station.
Solar wind strength seems to play a key role in our electromagnetic climate system and unless the GCM’s have a detailed quantitative description of the electromagnetic effects no progress in their forecast accuracy will be made.

Not forgetting our friend Vukcevic…
As soon as I can get a developer to write me a program to sort and map the data for Canada, I will go to an all North America forecast format, with Alaska attached.
The next will be to map the UK and send a copy of the program, maps, and data to Piers free of charge, before I release my UK forecast to the web.
Then Australia as soon as I can get a good set of raw data with as dense as coverage as I can find. Japan would be the other good candidate if they have records that go back to 1955.
Piers has hinted that considering the magnetic strength of the solar wind gives him a 90 day advantage on the Met service, more than that he says he does not use lunar declination at this time, hints at phase and perigee/apogee cycles though.

No one could forget the Moon (except, of course, wind modellers .-) ). I think Piers Corbyn does include it. There are energies in play all the time, everywhere, and nobody could forget where the “sink” is.
Happy and prosperous New Year to all.
Long ago, while studying isobaric type weather charts, it appeared to me that there was more to high and low pressure areas the mere surface heating and cooling. It appeared that something caused compression – decompression in certain areas and held the effect in place for some time. The weather / winds moved around these places of activity. Then these areas would “come loose” and travel. Not all energy is exhibited as heat or gravity. EMF and magnetic effects can cause movement as well as be caused by movement. Can stop movement as well as cause it. Can attract as well as repel. As in a kids game, just spin the dials and the jet streams move north or south around any particular spot carrying the weather systems with it. pg
P.G.
Happy new year to you. Its the best puzzle ever. Let’s keep working on it this year. The persistent blocking high over Greenland in December certainly opened my eyes to the profound effect on the jet streams. I hope Piers lets us in on the secrets this year. 🙂
